Hello, Jens!
In order to solve the problem, I've created a bash script named
executor.bat where I've added the following lines:
@set UIMA_CLASSPATH=%UIMA_CLASSPATH%; <path_to_my_third_party_libraries>
deployAsyncService.cmd <my_deployment_descriptor_for_as.xml>
I've put this script in a folder my_project/deploy/as/ and then I've set up
the <path_to_my_third_party_libraries>
with the relatives paths to the lib and bin folders of the project:
i.e.
@set UIMA_CLASSPATH=%UIMA_CLASSPATH%;../../lib;../../bin
The structure of the project after installing the pear file will look like
this:
installed
I
I-uima-pipeline
I-bin
I-deploy
I-as
I-executor.bat (from here we will execute the script)
I-lib
I-third_party_library.jar
I-descriptors
I-metadata
I-resources
I don't know that the above is a solution, but it worked for me.
Therefore, I have the following question:
How can I use the variables set up in install.xml and setenv.txt in my
executor.bat script?
I'll look forward for your answer,
Thank you.
Regards,
Florin
